Ali's Story

All About Ali

Fun. That’s what Ali was always on the hunt for. And wherever she was, fun would follow.

In one afternoon, she could entertain herself with a box of popsicle sticks (to make fantastic crafts), a Katy Perry CD (for an impromptu dance party), a cozy quilt (to snuggle under as she read a favorite book) and a bottle of pink nail polish (for big brother Jack to use as he painted her nails).

“She was like a magnet,” says Tiffany. “Once you entered her orbit, you didn’t want to leave.”

That even went for animals: Poonses, the stray cat who took up residence in her backyard as Ali underwent chemotherapy, seemed to know exactly when she needed a friend to cuddle.
